How good was it to watch us score a goal tonight and then not have to worry about the purple screen popping up to say they are looking for a reason to cancel the goal

I refused to set foot on the Turf again,in the premiership ,after the last Luton debacle, due to VAR.

I cant wait to set foot on the Turf again, after last nights thrashing of Luton and no VAR...pure bliss!

Oh and I am a season ticket holder of many years!!!

I have to admit when the first went in I was waiting for the VAR check lol. Its absolutely a better game without, no matter how poor the Refs are, its just what I call pure football.

Makes a massive difference knowing the second Vitinho smashes that past Kaminski you can just go wild without that slight doubt - and the same goes for the players.

I agree had var been in place the Oshea goal would have been ruled out after push by Oderbert on defender as the new rules state a foul committed when not looking in the direction of the ball is an offence, rock on with out VAR

The ref was poor last night, but he is human. I can accept the ref making mistakes, but I bloody hate VAR, it is part of the death of football in the Premier League.
Championship football is massively better to watch, I was watching it much more last season than the dirty Prem.

Not a chance that VAR rules that out.

The only mistake the ref made that lead to a goal was the pull by Brownhill on their player on the build up to us winning the corner which we scored from. But of course VAR would never have checked that anyway.

I did same, makes you realise what it's taken away from watching live football.

Same with me.

I'm another one that jumped up and cheered then sat back and said brownhill could be offside.

I posted on the match thread exactly the same thing ,almost post traumatic stress

There were a few decisions were VAR would have intervened and interrupted the flow of the game last night.
It's awful and not been implemented the way it should have been (clear and obvious errors.)
